A Chronic Sublethal Sediment Bioassay with the Marine Polychaete Nereis (Neanthes) arenaceodentata

Abstract

This note provides a general overview of a new 28-day chronic sublethal sediment bioassay designed for the regulatory evaluation of dredged material. The bioassay uses survival and growth rate endpoints with the polychaete Nereis (Neanthes) arenaceodentata. The primary technical reference for this new bioassay is Dillon, Moore, and Reish (in press), upon which this overview is based.
